last minute packing ideas

[LynnMariesmom]

We are packing for our Dream cruise this Sat..Any suggestions on what you are glad that you took or wish you had? We are travelling with a large family and our almost 2yo (will turn 2 on the cruise)

 

What about soft sided coolers?

 

thanks

Cooler would need to be packed into your suitcase if its over 12 x 12 x 12, it will be confiscated. They are cracking down on them.

 

My one thing not to forget is my alarm clock. I feel naked without a clock on the dresser when I wake up during the night.

1. Over the door shoe organizer for the bathroom door (not for shoes)

2. Highliter to hilite activities for the day in Capers

3. Disposable Ponchos in case it rains on port days

4. Suction cup hooks

Never would have thought about suction cup and hooks

Collapsable hamper. We put ours in the closet and it keeps the

dirty laundry separate. Easy packing at the end of the cruise.

I always take dryer sheets - I put them in the drawers to freshen them up (never know what has been in there). I also put one in an empty suitcase under the bed and use as a dirty clothes hamper (out of sight out of mind). Also, in a pinch they are great as a bug repellant, for some reason the little critters don't like the smell - just rub over arms etc and no greasy feeling to deal with.

It's been cold out there. Be prepared if it still is. Warming trend starts Sunday in Florida, in the 70's. Last week Cozumel was COLD!

DW and I are going to be on this cruise as well.:D my wife always gets a little chilly in the dining room, a sweater or similar is always a must.

Avon's Skin-So-Soft spray. It works like magic on the no-see-ums. (sand fleas) plus no repellants are in the ingredients.

We always take a power strip so we have the extra electrical outlets for camera charger, blow dryer, night light etc. We also take a blow dryer and a night light.
